Tackling that growth takes more than just simple urban planning. The goal of smart cities is to incorporate technology as an infrastructure to alleviate many of these complexities. Green energy, forms of transportation, water and pollution management, universal identification (ID), wireless Internet systems, and promotion of local commerce are examples of current of smart city initiatives.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>What\u2019s most important to a smart city, however, is integration.\u00a0None of the services mentioned above exist in a vacuum; they need to be put into a single system.
